I’m recently having a problem (with VS 2008 SP1) similar to some described above, in which saving any updated code-file in a website project causes my IDE to freeze for anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds. This is very frustrating for anyone who prefers to save code edits frequently…

It appears that the file save itself is occurring immediately, but the IDE freezes for 15 to 60 seconds just after the save occurs. Meanwhile, I see that the Temporary ASP.NET Files content for this application is flushed and regenerated.

I’ve tried testing this with different solutions/projects on this machine (Win2003), and the effect is consistent.

This has been going on for at least several weeks, but the freeze-delay became more frustratingly significant in the last two weeks or so. I’ve been Google-searching much of today, but have found nothing useful so far.

Anyone?

I tried to install the IDE, but right before it finished, it restarted the computer. After the reboot, it was running very slowly, so I restarted it again via the start menu. After it started again, before I could open anything it completely locked up, and eventually I had no other option but to pull the plug, so to speak. After trying to turn it on again, it struggles in DOS for a while until it tells me I need to repair the OS. After starting the process, the computer froze again…

If anyone else has had this kind of problem before and fixed it, please email me (at kingbobxiv@gmail.com).

I am never downloading a single file from the MS website again…

Well, I spoke of switching to java a few months ago on this. I did…and I love Eclipse. great IDE! Still haven’t had time to play with coding on my Mac, but I should have some more free time soon.

Well, I got overrulled on some things, and see we have msdn subscription we got vs 2008. Its VS 2005 with a couple of minor upgrades and support for xaml. Thats it. Remember Windows 98? Remember 98 SE? basically a more stable version with a few extras? Thats VS2005 vs 2008. Except VS 2008 is still miserable with managing references.

Anyway I’ve started a company with manager and we’re doing a bunch of cool stuff…all in java and c++ baby! Screw VS!

Has anyone upgraded to VS2008? Did it solve any of the problems?

I did a quick test upgrade of our app and they’ve changed the webservices yet again. WSE 3.0 isn’t there anymore. It means we have to go through the process of working out what needs to change and then doing it.

Here we go again… and I’m getting irritated because this issue is by far not the only one that occured today…
I’ve two projects in my solution. One project is referenced to the other. When I build the solution: no problems. When I publish the solution and install it, I can’t run it. -> On debug: Could not load file or assembly…blahblah
(Even with local copy = true)
Solution: Restart your entire pc, not only vs2005. Publish again: it works. Tsss… 2 hours wasted for nothing.
What a fantastic IDE! Not!
VS2008? Another ripp-off I don’t even consider trying! Give me back my money instead, losers!!
Contact MS to report every issue… and then what? Wait some months till it’s solved? Why should I invest my energy to fix their bullshit? (Having a good laugh) Get a decent test team, morons… instead of degrading your clients to some ordinary testers…
